IAB Europe's Guide to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

Since the inception of the European Green Deal in 2020, the EU region has been actively advancing legislation aimed at promoting sustainability across various sectors. One such significant development is the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which marks a crucial step towards enhancing transparency and accountability in corporate reporting practices. 

With the first wave of companies falling under the CSRD's scope set to prepare their reports for publication in 2025, the impact of these rules will be felt across a wide spectrum of industries, including the digital advertising sector. 

Developed by IAB Europe's Sustainability Committee, the ‘Guide to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)’ serves as an educational resource, providing valuable insights and guidance on the CSRD. It aims to offer informative content on this Directive. This guide does not provide legal advice and should be used for informational purposes only. Companies should seek advice from their legal teams or advisors to ensure full compliance with the CSRD and EU legislation.

A huge thank you to all members of the Sustainability Standard Commitee's ESG Policy & Regulation Working Group who shared their valuable insights into this guide.
